What works best is a sound track that produces energy over the full human hearing spectrum (20Hz – 20KHz) with an
embedded pulse that gently eases the brain to the sleeping state also known as the Alpha state that induce drowsiness.
They are HARD to find. But, they have them at www.slumberingangels.com . It is amazing, our son would NOT go to sleep or stay asleep without it. Imagine your child going to sleep when YOU want.Check it out. They are a LIFESAVER!!

Great tips on naps! I totally agree that babies should wear comfortable clothing that isn't too light or too heavy. When I had my LO, I got him pajamas that were heavy and he started waking up during the middle of the night because he got too hot and uncomfortable. After trying pajamas and sleeping suits, I came across the Zipadee-Zip from Sleeping Baby and it really is awesome. It is a comfortable, soft fleece sleeping suit that soothes the baby and it's breathable so my little guy doesn't overheat!

I find the best way to get toddlers to nap is to create a routine by reading the same favorite book before each nap. Mine is called Nap-a-Roo and I found it on Amazon... it is really cute and a fast read... Now my toddler knows, we read nap-a-roo and then we take a nap-a-roo! Worth a try! Here is the book because we really do love it: http://www.amazon.com/Nap-Roo-Kristy-Kurjan/dp/0986075000

I don't understand how to get my 10 week old baby boy to nap 3 or 4 hours at a time. He still wakes up to eat every 2 hours around the clock. It's not that he's not getting enough food - sometimes my breasts are so full that he'll eat too much and spit a lot of it back up! We started a bedtime routine (bath at 8:30-9, then jammies, book, nurse, lullaby, bed) but still, all but 3 times he's awake again in 2-3 hours, before husband and I are even in bed. He very rarely naps for more than 30 minutes at a time during the day, & still sleeps at least a little between each feeding on most days. What else do I need to do to get him on a more regular routine? I would love to start getting some things done during the day and a little stretch of sleep at night!

We have two diffrent binkys.one we use for burping during feedings so that he doesnt get mad that we r stoping the milkflow to burp briefly. The other binky is a sleeping binky and when he takes It we no hes ready to go down for the count.

My daughter is four months old, she takes maybe 2 naps a day and drinks 4ounces for every nap sometimes 6 ounces...one nap around 12pm and other one at 3pm. I give her a bath at 8:30pm, i give her another bottle of 4 ounces sometimes 6 ounces and she sleeps through the night maybe waking up once or twice to eat 2 ounces but doesn't wake up till 10am or 11am..is this a bad sleeping schedule? Should i change it?

My baby had reflux and had the exact same symptoms. Not classic spitting up or anything so we tried the reflux medicine around 8 weeks and then we had a whole new baby, slept great. He grew out of reflux by 4 mo and still sleeps through the night. I would just try and see if this medication helps, it is pretty innate and likely won't need it long.

My 7weeks old won't nap in the afternoon even though he is very tired. He will sleep in our arms but will wake up and cry the minute we put him down in his cot. He cannot fall asleep on his own, either I nurse him to sleep or rock him to sleep. After falling deep sleep, I will move him to his cot, hopefully he doesn't wake and cry and fuss. I don't know if it is just plain fussiness or he has a health problem e.g reflux. Please help.
